My favorite Apostille story:
We were at Trader Joe's on a Sunday evening, around 730 pm, when my business line rang. I answered. On the other end was my now-favorite repeat client. He and his fiancée were leaving for a month-long trip, traveling to a few countries and then getting married in Mexico.
As they were packing and going through the "what you need to get married in Mexico" list, she pointed out the Apostille. What's an Apostille, he said?
They were leaving on Monday afternoon. Apostilles are issued by the California Secretary of State's office in LA or Sacramento, and sometimes at local pop-up events throughout California. Even if I drove it down to LA, it would have been close, and he understandably didn't want to pay that kind of expedited fee.
We brainstormed together and came up with a plan. I went to their house that night to get the document. The next day, I went to the Ventura County Superior Court at the Government Center to get a certified copy of his document, then sent it off Priority Overnight to my courier for hand delivery to the CA SOS in Sacramento. She then sent it off Priority Overnight to a relative who carried it with her to Mexico. She was traveling a few days later than they were.
He left me one of the most complimentary reviews I have ever received. Shared in comments.
